Rain-dodging season

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of weather on cricket matches and features a specific focus on Twickenham's performance.

Just five 1st XI games managed to beat the weather on 6 June. One was in Div 7, two in Div 6, one in Div 4 and Twickenham v Stanmore in the Prem. And, Twickenham will be much the happier; by virtue of our old friend Vera Duckworth and her sums, they got home and with that their first ten points of the season. Plus, how bad exactly was that Test Match track and what's it like being an umpire on a rainy day? Spoiler. Not much fun.... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
